Wendy,
If we are going Federal here then I have a right not to be preached to. Here he has a captive audience, so to speak. I for one will participate less here if I must read religious preaching in here. I have a right not to be harrassed. I have freedom of religion too. My religion does not have a problem with how I live my life. I am free to practice my religion here too without harrassment.
I know that the Feds do not have a nondiscrimination law that includes homosexuals. Chicago and Cook County do have such an ordinance and this board is administered there. Also I'm reading this in Davenport, Iowa. We have a similar ordinance here.
Therefore if Sal is allowed to harrass me with his condemnations and talk that I am going to Hell because of my G-d given sexual orientation then he is breaking the laws of where this board is founded and administered and where I read this.
Respectfully Yours,
Simcha.
> Sorry, but I disagree. Sal's version of Christianity says that *promotion* of the Gospel, as you call it, is what is required of him by his God. Please understand, I am not a practicing christian, but I am interested in civil rights, freedom of speech, etc. Dr. Bob, have you ever made a statement about civil rights, and whether the Board follows those principles (U.S. federal law)? Or since it is a private board, do other rules apply. I am curious, and not baiting or trying to cause disagreement... >
